BENAH LOVES | Wes Anderson Palettes

The only thing better than a Wes Anderson movie is a Wes Anderson colour palette. Everything in a Wes Anderson movie is so detailed: every prop and every costume in every shot looks exactly the way it looks for a reason. The colours in his movies are no different: they always highlight or draw attention to something, and always come together on screen in a harmony that it so easy to watch. We stumbled on Wes Anderson Palettes today - a site that draws out the key colours in a Wes Anderson scene and matches it with a line of dialogue - and pored over some of their selections. We loved the blue and pink Mendl's boxes from The Grand Budapest Hotel, Margot lighting her cigarette in The Royal Tenenbaums and Steve about to set off in search of the killer shark in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

MUSE | Léa Seydoux

Parisian girls just do it better, and Léa is definitely hitting the high notes. At 28 she has been in the acting game for a while with her 'don't give a f*$%k' attitude giving just the right amount of allure and mystery. The fact she is not afraid to play very different characters confirms she won't be type cast any time soon. Watch her play the muse of Yves Saint Laurent Loulou de la Falasie,  in the 'other' unapproved bio pic, Saint Laurent, scheduled for released in October this year.

READ | The Travel Almanac

One of our favourite reads. Simple, beautiful, clean and concise in design; The Travel Almanac is more of a book then magazine as its timeless content deserves to be preserved on the book shelf for future reads. 

Aimed at a generation of sophisticated travellers within the creative community, The Travel Almanac is a NY/Berlin publication available bi-annually. With interviews at its core, Editor Paul Kominek had this to say about the content philosophy in an interview with Stack Magazines - 

"Lets just speak to people that we love - cultural icons who are really interesting - but let's talk to them about subjects they aren't asked about constantly. This is why our interviews with those well-known personalities usually are much more personal and intimate than the average interview. Travelling habits and experiences say a lot about a person and are at the same time very universal and thus make for a great way to break the ice in a conversation."

With the current roll call of cover stars like David Lynch, Matthew Barney, Willem Dafoe, & Harmony Korine is great to see Gia Coppola take center stage for Issue 7. Be sure to pre-order the new issue now for shipping on the 5th of May

LET'S TALK

The Talks is a weekly updated online interview magazine founded in 2011 by Sven Schumann and Johannes Bonke.

Every week The Talks publishes an interview and portrait with a leading creative voice of our times. Simple, often short and to the point; each interview gives a personal insight into the world of the interviewee. 

The roll call is impressive. Broken down into the fields of art, film, fashion, music, and sports; think Meryl Streep, Vincent Cassel, Andre Saraiva and Nick Cave, to name but a few. 

 

It never feels like they are plugging a specific project/film/album. More like you are catching a snippet of a general 'life' conversation going on between friends. We especially love the audio samples.
